SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 7—
The Magnavox Company has sued Activision Inc. of Mountain View, Calif., in Federal court, charging that it made microprocessor-based television game consoles that infringe on a patent licensed to Magnavox. Magnavox brought two similar actions in 1974 and more recently against Mattel Inc., and the judges in the cases ruled that the patent had been infringed.
